Hello From Canada

[TheFall]

Hello Everyone,

I like to say I am moderately new to the hobby of pipe smoking, even though I have been interested on and off for probably 10 years. 10 years ago I got myself a cob and 2 tins of tobacco, I did thoroughly enjoy the 3/4 of each tin that I used but life started to get in the way and I couldn't make time to enjoy the hobby properly so we slowly drifted apart. I even grew pipe tobacco one summer.

Fast Forward to now, I recently purchased an estate lot of pipes to restore as a hobby and had a wonderful time working on them, however I have not smoked them yet as my 4 noggins order is in the mail. I ordered Mac Baren Navy Flake (A friend gave me half a dozen flakes years ago and it was my favorite at the time), Erinmore Flake, and Devils Holiday.

I look forward to leaching some of the knowledge and opinions as a browse and contribute to the forums! Thanks Everyone

As deep as my wife will allow me to go at a time lol We are almost neighbors, I am in the southern half of the province

That is great, used to live in those parts too, Lethbridge, Brooks, Bassano. Went to the U of L. My wife is supportive of my interest but I admit there are times I go overboard.

This is a not a lake, it's a snowmelt puddle.

Welcome from central North Carolina U.S. I've really enjoyed my trips north of the border, with family growing up, and Toronto for business, and to Montreal for my sixtieth.

Welcome for as far south as you can get Ontario.

Welcome from S.W Michigan. It doesn't matter how you made your way back as long as you made it back. Life can be so hectic that we don't think we have time to truly enjoy and relax with a pipe. That is when you can get the most enjoyment from it in my opinion.
